1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundOsmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) can be a central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) and extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM) based on the regions involved even though they share the same disease process, aetiopathogenesis and time course.

objectivesPresent study aims to characterize the clinical, radiological features and the outcome of patients with ODS with movement disorders as the forthcoming manifestation.

methodsChart review of patients with ODS with movement disorders. Demographic, clinical and radiological details of the patients were reviewed.

resultsEleven patients (six females; mean age: 48.3 ± 17.6 years) were included in the study. Parkinsonism alone and parkinsonism with dystonia was noted in four patients each (36.4%) while dystonia alone was noted in the other 3 (27.3%). Five patients (45.5%) had postural tremors. While 5 patients had dystonia early in the course of illness (3-7 days), it was delayed (6-9 months) in the other 2. A triphasic course was noted in two patients. The first phase of hyponatremia induced neurological impairment was followed by a second phase of worsening due to the immediate effect of ODS and a third delayed phase of worsening due to delayed effect of ODS. MRI showed both EPM and CPM in eight patients, EPM alone in two patients and CPM alone in 1 patient. Nine patients had a good outcome with mRS < 3.

conclusionParkinsonism and dystonia are important manifestations of ODS. Triphasic course with a delayed phase of worsening of movement disorders is probably due to the maladaptive neuronal repair. The concept of triphasic ODS is first being described in our series.
